Andrew Kim

Andrew Kim works across two registers of the bar: service on the floor and direction behind the program. As a bartender and bar director, he covers the immediate demands of the room while also holding the structure that keeps the bar operating with intent. On the service side, Andrew Kim is part of the front line, where pace, precision, and poise shape the guest’s experience. On the directing side, he is responsible for the broader shape of the program, making sure the work adds up beyond a single shift.

The strength of the role is in that split attention. One part is tactile and responsive; the other is supervisory and steady. Andrew Kim’s title reflects both, linking the hands-on work of hospitality to the oversight that gives it form. In a field where execution and management often sit side by side, Andrew Kim is defined by both. Bartender and bar director is a plain description, but it is specific enough to show the scope of the craft: immediate service, program-level responsibility, and the coordination between them.
